Linshanbi Recreation Area Introduction
Linshan Cape, known as "the beautiful nose tip at the northernmost point of Taiwan," stands between Baishawan and Fuguijiao. It was formed by the eruption of the Zhuzi Volcano from the Datun Volcano Group 800,000 years ago, extending into the ocean. Local residents of Demao Village referred to it as "Biwei Bi" or "Biwei Tou," and it was renamed Linshan Cape during the Japanese colonial period. The andesite rock has developed distinct geological features, and over the years, relentless erosion from ocean waves and sand carried by the northeast monsoon have sculpted it into a flat wind-eroded surface, producing sharp ridges, thus named "wind ridge stones." While admiring these large and uniquely shaped wind ridge stones, one can almost hear the conversation between the wind and the stones, revealing the profoundness and perseverance that remains unchanged through the forces of nature. Another treasure of Linshan Cape is the algal reef, a unique landscape that is worth observing. Some algae require stable rocks as their growth conditions, making the abundant andesite an ideal choice. Through generations of algae growth and decay, thin layers of limestone algal reef have formed on the rock surface. Additionally, observing small organisms in the intertidal zone is a key recreational activity at Linshan Cape. By checking tides in advance and preparing the necessary equipment, visitors can enjoy the fun of tide pooling and discover rare natural curiosities among the crevices and rocks. Currently, the "Linshan Cape Recreational Area" is planned with pedestrian trails, wooden pathways, and other facilities that allow visitors to appreciate the coastal scenery while observing the shallow water ecology, making it an ideal destination for family outings and nature education. Furthermore, Linshan Cape is a great spot for watching sunsets; the evening glow reflecting on the mirror-like shallow waters creates a particularly mysterious beauty. A scene from the film "Secret That Cannot Be Told," where the male lead escorts the female lead home, was filmed along the bike path at Linshan Cape Recreational Area. The wooden pathway stretches approximately 600 meters; the stunning ocean views along the way are especially captivating when the gentle breeze rustles the Casuarina trees and the sea wind stirs the silver waves, attracting many film fans to visit.
